This action will be held in a number of places in Indonesia.Around 12 thousand farmers will demonstrate to Jakarta, and 13 thousand other farmers will demonstrate in various places.
“Through this action, farmers will submit nine demands for improvement of 24 structural problems (crisis) of agrarian due to 65 years of the 1960s and agrarian reform agenda that are not carried out across government regimes,” said Secretary General of the Agrarian Reform Consortium (KPA), Dewi Kartika quoted her statement on Sunday (9/21).
In the action in Jakarta, farmers along with the Labor Movement, Students and other civil society movements will hold an action in front of the Indonesian Parliament Building to demand improvement.
In addition to Jakarta, various locations for the commemoration of the 2025 National Farmers Day will be held simultaneously in North Aceh, Medan, Palembang, Jambi, Bandar Lampung, Semarang, Blitar, Jember, Makassar, Palu, Sikka, Kupang, and Manado.
Dewi stated that the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA) which was formed for ten years of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo was proven to have failed to carry out agrarian reform.
According to him, the inequality of land tenure in Indonesia is getting worse, farmers are increasingly small and even losing land.
“The people still do not have a channel for resolving agrarian conflicts. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, BUMN, Agriculture, the Ministry of PDTT Village and the Ministry of Cooperatives, the TNI-Polri and other state institutions are still ignorant of the chronic agrarian issues,” he said.
He stated that the index of land control inequality in Indonesia noted that one percent of elite groups in Indonesia control 58 percent of land, natural resources and sources of production, while 99 people’s people fight for the remaining.
Dewi said that the condition also made an agrarian conflict eruption in Indonesia increase over the past 10 years.
“Agrarian conflict with an area of 7.4 million hectares. The impact, 1.8 million families lost land, loss of livelihoods and the future,” he said.
In addition, Dewi said that this agrarian conflict was also not only due to the failure of the government to carry out agrarian reforms, but also because of large-scale investment and extractive business projects that continue to be forced.
“PSN, Food Estate, Authority Agency for National Tourism Strategic Areas or Special Economic Zones, Food Bank and Military Militarization continues to expand to villages and villages, seize farmers’ land and customary areas, close access to the sea and capture areas due to being captured by entrepreneurs,” he said.
Previously, Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman stated that various strategic programs carried out by the government had produced a large leap, both in terms of production to the welfare of farmers.
In the Joint Working Meeting of Committee II of the Indonesian Regional Representative Council (DPD), last Monday (9/15), Amran said the achievement was the result of the performance of all parties.
“First, we see that production especially rice until October reaches 31 million tons. This is a BPS projection. Our estimation is 34 million tons in 2025. And this is the result of our hard work, including the support of Committee II DPD RI,” Amran said.
In 2025, Indonesian rice stocks penetrated 4.2 million tons, to be the highest since Indonesia’s independence.
In addition, Amran also highlighted the role of agriculture in the country’s GDP, agriculture became a business sector that recorded the highest growth in the first quarter of 2025, grew up to 10.52 percent (year-on-year).
Various programs and policies carried out are proven to have an impact on the welfare of farmers, which are reflected in the farmer’s exchange rate (NTP) which rose significantly to 123.57.
All of the records also received a positive assessment from the international world, one of which was from the FAO who projects the leap of Indonesia’s food production to reach 35.6 million tons.
